Hey Francesco - wonderful playing - these are great clips.
We were in Rome recently and stayed at a great hotel called the Franklin, which called itself a music hotel - fantastic place!
Do you know it at all?

Very nice. (I've got a 4003 in Blueboy as well.) Are you self-taught or did you go to school?

Man, these clips make me want to record myself on video. Seeing other people rocking out at home makes me feel not so bad about my own dorm-room shredding. I should just rent a video camera from the Film Co-Op and go . . .
Oh, and kickass clips Francesco. Nice selection of tunes!

thank you Bruno
Anyway I am going to film Bruno while playing some Squire bass lines with his 4001CS, and it'll sound even better

hey Francesco-
what are you using to get your "squire-tone" on Yours Is No Disgrace? i see the Bass, and i see an Ashdown amp...
what's in between? how are you running your pickups?

ashdown equalization: flat, except for the treble rotate control at maximum position (the speaker is 1x15'' so you need more treble)
4001V63: rickenbacker factory roundwound strings, both pups with volume/tone at maximum position, extra heavy pick and...nothing else
As promised...here's the Hofner:
